You’ll find the full review in the Spanish section of the October SLJ, since it’s technically reviewing the Spanish edition, ¡ELEVA LA RAMPA!, translated by Anyeliz Pagan Munoz. #kidlit #steamworks @charlesbridge.bsky.social @steamteambooks.bsky.social @scbwisocal.bsky.social
It’s a Star! A starred review from SLJ! VERDICT This fun picture book is an excellent way to share with young readers the ways STEAM is present every day and is sure to inspire readers to make their own creations. A great addition to Spanish collections for children.

An adorable bunch of hungry ducks steals the show in this heartwarming friendship book about moving. The words are a joy to read aloud, while the emotive artwork tugs at your heart. Favorite line: "For Buttercup, I even give up my last cube of juicy cantaloupe."
